Posted June 12, 20205 yr The Oscars have announced that the best picture line-up will consist of 10 nominees permanently from the 2021 Oscars (the ones happening in 2022, so the one after the next Oscars x). Previously it'd be any amount between 7 to 9 based on some balloting system. The only previous years where there has been 10 set nominees are 2009 and 2010, which brought some of the most inspired best pic nominees *.* fabulous news and a great decision! <3 the academy are also making plans to increase diversity & make a more inclusive Oscar race <3
June 12, 20205 yr Just gonna post the 20 Best Picture Nominees from those two years: 2009: THE HURT LOCKER - A Serious Man - An Education - Avatar - The Blindside - District 9 - Inglorious Basterds - Precious - Up - Up In The Air 2010: THE KING'S SPEECH - 127 Hours - Black Swan - Inception - The Fighter - The Kid's Are All Right - The Social Network - Toy Story 3 - True Grit - Winter's Bone Just by that expansion... those lists looks so much more diverse and accurate for the years, including the blockbusters and animations too. It should just be a perfect 10 anyway! It's a nice, round number! :lol:
June 12, 20205 yr That's great news, I agree the 2009 and 2010 Best Picture nominations stand out as being a lot more diverse than sets since so hopefully that can continue. I don't know how they're gonna manage it for 2021 though, will there even be ten films to judge overall? :basil:
June 12, 20205 yr They *should* be fine tbh! :lol: All the movies that get Oscar nominated are usually released in the US from about September - End of November, beginning Dec! Whether any of those contenders get pushed back due to the blockbusters being pushed back, I don't know :lol: I imagine Tenet will be the first major contender for the pictures this year! Although I'd LOVE for 'The Invisible Man' to get a look in! :wub:
June 12, 20205 yr Author 2021 is sticking to the flexible format system so I imagine we’re gonna get 7/8 noms this year aha!
September 9, 20204 yr white people are so triggered at the new requirements lmao. THEY ARE TAKING AWAY WHITE PEOPLE'S OSCAR RIGHTS :cry: :cry: :cry: DIVERSITY DOESN'T MEAN CHANGE IN QUALITY. It's so much harder for POC to get into the industry. And it's not like they are banning all movies from being all-white lmao. This is one measly category. People are acting like it's the end of the world. But that's white folks for ya
